Can you suggest some places to visit in August in India? I am travelling with friends for 7-10 days in limited budget.

August is the onset of Monsoon in India. Most parts of the country encounters heavy rain fall, at some places the intensity is higher and at some places it is less. However, a travellers spirit cannot be let down by any rain, storm or wind.

There are many places to visit in the month of August in India. 7 to 10 days is a long time, in which you can cover almost a region. Monsoon is a good time to visit the Sahyadris (the Western Ghats). The lush greenery washed up in rain offers a refreshing experience that one can enjoy to the fullest. Also, at this time you can go visit Cherrapunji to witness the reason why its called the place with highest rain fall. You can rule out the high altitude hill stations at Himachal and Uttarakhand, because at this time there is a high risk of land slides at those places.

Here is a list of places from where you can make your pick for a fun holiday in August.

Coorg

Coorg is an alluring hill station from where you can view the western Ghats in its full glory. There are also many water falls in this region that comes to life in the time of Monsoon.
